Focus point for a 10" F/8 GSO CF TrusS RC

Anyone able to help here need to know back focus distance for visual observing using this scope, either using a 20MM or 35MM 2" eyepiece the focuser is a Moonlite with about 30mm movement

They say 131mm from 2" plug in sleeve, or 226mm from (117mm x 1) thread on tube, nominal backfocus being 210mm.

I struggled for ages getting backfocus on an 8" for vis.
